Sixteen recent graduates of the FAMU College of Arts & Sciences will be enrolling at medical schools across the country in fall 2008, said Dean Ralph Turner. Most of the students come from pre-professional or premedical tracks, designed to help them meet the national and international health care demands of our society, he said.
To achieve this goal, the college hosts workshops for general pre-professional school information, writing a personal statement, interviewing skills and a mock interview for all university students and works with students to help place them in physician-shadowing programs. The majority of the 16 student are biology and chemistry graduates.
By "sending," do you mean that their tuition is going to be paid by Florida A&M University? Or, by "sending" does the headline mean that the university has sixteen recent graduates who will "be enrolled" in med schools somewhere? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteNot trying to be funny but if you read the first sentence of the article it clearly states:

The title may be questionable but it answers your question in the article.
I would venture to say that it is meant that these students are being "sent" based on the preperation provided by Florida A&M University. No University pays for students to attend another institution.
ReplyDeleteGREAT Job FAMU! Now make sure to follow these students so that we may reap some monies, in the form of donations, when they are big time great doctors!
16 is a good start but our goal should be to increase the number each year. Find out what made these students successful and duplicate that success.
ReplyDeleteThat's just 16 from the College of Arts and Sciences. There are many more from Pharmacy and other disciplines that go on to medical school.
ReplyDelete9:23, this is poster 1:14. No offense taken, but my question was regarding the headline, not the article. I did read the article and knew, beforehand, the article's content -- and the headline's intent. A headline speaks succinctly to an article's content. That is why articles have headlines. Please review my comments.
